Early Biomedical and Environmental Factors Associated with Developmental Coordination Disorder in a Brazilian Preterm Cohort.
Article in Brain sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDevelopmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is frequent in preterm children, but its etiology remains unclear, with conflicting findings across studies. Moreover, no previous research has examined the rate and risk factors of DCD in Brazilian preterm populations.
aimTo investigate biomedical and environmental risk factors associated with a later indication of DCD at preschool age in Brazilian preterm children.
methodsSixty-three preterm children from a follow-up clinic were assessed at preschool age using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-Second Edition (MABC-2). Biomedical data from the NICU stay and socioeconomic/environmental information were collected. The associations between potential risk factors and DCD were explored using multivariate logistic regression.
resultsThe prevalence of DCD was 52.4% (n = 33). Group differences were observed in sex, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, ventilatory support, and family income. Logistic regression [χ
conclusionsBoth biomedical and environmental risk factors are associated with DCD at preschool age. These findings highlight the need for early screening and monitoring, as minor motor difficulties may be overlooked when such risk factors are observed.
